AW: st: AW: problem when importing graphs into word

["Martin Weiss" <martin.weiss1@gmx.de>]

<> 

How big a file is the final product? This code produces 12.5 MB, which
indeed appears to be redrawn every time you look at it:


*************
clear*
set obs 300000
  
gen x1=rnormal()
gen x2=rnormal()
sc x?

gr export mygraph.wmf
*************


Turn this thing into a pdf on a windows machine, and the viewer takes a
couple of seconds to open it fully:

***
// path to folder
local path "C:/Users/`c(username)'/Desktop"
gr export `path'\mygraph.eps, as(eps) preview(off) replace

//pdf export with MIKTEX utility
!epstopdf `path'\mygraph.eps
!start `path'\mygraph.pdf
***

This is due to size: Would a 1% sample of the data give you the same
information?

Betreff: R: st: AW: problem when importing graphs into word

for example, when running a two-way scatter with dots connected by lines,
Word first shows the dots and then the lines connecting them very appear
very slowly...it looks like Word is actually running the graph by itself
